“To have an opportunity to have a coach like Frank Spaziani visit with your staff is a real honor,” Martin said. “He obviously is one of the best defensive coaches in the country and has a great reputation of being a very creative coach. I think this is a great opportunity especially for our defensive staff to learn a lot from him specifically on the blitz package. I’m very grateful he is willing to take time out of his schedule to spend a week with us.”
